WTF?

WTF indeed! We stand for Films, Tunes, and Whatever else we feel like (not necessarily in order!) Professor Nonsense heads the 'Whatever' department, posting ramblings ranging from the decrepit, to the offbeat, to the just plain absurd! The mysterious Randor takes helm of the 'Tunes' front, detailing the various melodic messages he gets in earfuls. Weekly recommendations and various musings follow his shadows. Finally, our veteran movie critic, Lt Archie Hicox, commands the 'Film' battlefield, giving war-weathered reviews on flicks the way he sees them. Through the eyes of a well-versed renegade, he stands down for no man! Together we are (W)hatever(T)unes(F)ilms!

Criticature: "Scream 4" (2011)


With the exception of a couple admittedly well-thought-out little twinkles, this self-aware reboot of a decade-old franchise is like that guy you'll sometimes see in a bar or a nightclub. The one wearing the gold chain necklace and has just a tuft of chest hair strategically exposed. The one leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette or playing with a poker chip...

He's trying so hard to look like he doesn't give a damn about being cool but it's pretty obvious he's got some insecurity issues. That's what "Scream 4" is. It recognizes its own shortcomings and tries to compensate with an ultra-hip vibe that's occasionally fun but doesn’t pack enough decibels to make us forget that, at its core, it’s another remake. Albeit, a clever one.
